Motorola Milestone X (Droid X) MIA in International Markets [Motorola Not to Launch Its Droid X Android Flagship Device in Europe & the Rest of Read: Motorola Milestone X (Droid X) MIA in International Markets [Motorola Not to Launch Its Droid X Android Flagship Device in Europe & the Rest of the World?

The Motorola Droid X is without a doubt Motorola’s current Android flagship device. In fact, since Motorola has quit all ties with other mobile operating systems but Android, the Droid X qualifies as the overall Motorola flagship device. We have thoroughly reviewed the handset and we have covered every bit of news regarding it, whether it was good, bad, or ugly, albeit we mostly had good things to comment on it.

So why is the Droid X restricted to the U.S. market? The phone is only available through Verizon channels, which is not good enough in my book. The Droid X would probably sell like hot cakes in other markets too, and, while we’re at it, from other U.S. carriers.

That’s the way to go if you want to fight Apple’s iPhone or, since this qualifies as a great example, Samsung’s Galaxy S. Restricting the Droid X to U.S. soil is definitely annoying for European and international Android fans.
So why is the Milestone X missing in action? What have you done with it and when do you plan to launch it? Considering that HTC took its HTC EVO 4G giant, and I do refer to its overall size, to Europe as the Desire HD, and that Microsoft and partners are going to launch lots of Windows Phone 7 phones in the near future in Europe, Motorola should definitely counter-attack with a Motorola Milestone X, the Droid X version for non-U.S. markets. These are all valid reasons, on top of fighting the iPhone even more successfully in other markets.
The cherry on top here is, of course, Microsoft’s latest lawsuit against Motorola. What better way to fight it than by simply launching one of your best Android handsets all over the world and making a bold statement in the process?
We’re in October already, and the holiday shopping season is approaching fast. Will Motorola launch a Milestone X handset in European markets? And while we’re at it, what about a Milestone 2? I’m sure that plenty of smarpthone fans would be thrilled of such an Android alternative. So, anyone from Motorola willing to tell us more about an international Droid X version?
